10 Video Games You Didn’t Realise Gave Away Their Major Twists

7. Portal 2

Portal 2 is everything a sequel should be; expanding on the universe and mythology of the first game in ways that enrich the experience. You learn more about Aperture Science, its founder Cave Johnson, and GLaDOS, whose personality is heavily implied to be based on Cave€™s assistant Caroline.

The later discovery has the most emotional impact, and is actually hinted at early on in the game in the form of a talkative sentry bot. While traversing down a conveyor belt of defective bots, one of them proclaims, €œI€™m different.€ Should you decide to pick it up, it will start talking random nonsense. However, one of its statement€™s stands out: €œHer name is Caroline.€

Sure, this seems just as cryptic and random as everything else it says, but upon beating the game it is obvious the bot was referring to Cave€™s beloved assistant, cluing you in on the yet to be revealed secret origins of everyone€™s favorite homicidal AI.
